The Indonesian Bakamla through elements of the Sea Belut KN-406 managed to secure 8 Illegal Migrant Workers (PMI) who returned to Indonesia illegally through Saleh Harbor, Medang Kampai District, Dumai City, Riau.

TNI Admiral Aan Kurnia appreciated the Task Force team and elements of KN Belut Laut-406 who had carried out their orders well.

"This is a direct task from the President during the Limited Meeting at the palace regarding the Prevention of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons and I am proud of the front line of Bakamla RI for carrying out this task well," said Aan, Wednesday, July 19.

The security of this Non-Procedural PMI originated from information from Intel Kodim 0320/Dumai that there would be a non-procedural PMI repatriation going back to Indonesia by sea from Malaysia to Rupat Island.

Receiving this information, KN Belut Laut-406, commanded by Lt. Col. Bakamla Muhammad Avessina, which is carrying out Operation OPTIMA MALINDO 30A/23 in the waters of Rupat Island, carried out insulation in the waters of Selinsing, Sepahat, P. Rupat.

In addition to KN Belut Laut-406, the Intelligence Kodim Unit Team in charge of carrying out ground management, and the Celebes Task Force Team served as air strengthening and monitoring through the TNI Bais Drone.

The Task Force team immediately carried out their duties according to their sector. The Task Force for Celebes Bais TNI, which was also onboarded at KN Belut Laut-406, carried out air monitoring using drones and received movements that were allegedly non-procedural PMI from Selinsing waters to Saleh Harbor, Medang Kampai District.

The Kodim Intel Unit team on land moved to Saleh Harbor to carry out the arrest and handling of PMI who had just returned from Malaysia. Then, the KN Belut Laut-406 docked at the location of the arrest.

Furthermore, KN Belut Laut-406 evacuated 8 Non-Procedural PMIs to the Dumai Navigation Pier to carry out an in-depth information. The results of the inspection from the Task Force team found 8 non-procedural PMIs Zaelun (43), Jalaludin (49), Asdody Sapitri (37), Lalu Ahmad Sariadi (43), Tugiran (43), Marzuki (36), Akhmad Fauzi (29), and Ahmad Asriadi (31).

For further investigation, the Indonesian UPH Bakamla Team handed over 8 Non-Procedural PMIs to the Coordinator of the Dumai City Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Service Post (P4MI).
